WOW... Gameflow is cool even though some of the plays aren't exactly what I would have picked. There seem to be new animations too. I definitely digging the game. It will be purchased.

yes, yes and yes

Love it. Game speed and locomotion are great. Ball trajectory is good. Hit stick is toned way down. Lots to like.

Did the Madden Team bother to implement "Defensive Player Lock" in 11 and if so, any impressions anyone?

I am suprised no one is complaining about the crowd audio. Anyone with 5.1 surrond has got to realize it sounds like crap. Pasterpadre was one of the few that mentioned that it ruins the game atmosphere. What i am talking about is the total silence of crowd noise when teams line up for a play. I have the stupid coordinator turned off and it sounds like your team is playing in a studio with 2 or 3 people screaming before the snap. If this is not fixed in the final version then i will not purchase. Also when playing defense before a play there is a bass rumble which is triggered for a few seconds before the snap which is very annoying. Anyone with a subwoofer will know what i am talking about. Please fix these audio issues.

As has been stated repeatedly, the audio is roughly 6 weeks old, and has been SEVERELY reduced for demo size.

Anyone else have a problem with the pass D. It seems that pass D is just way to hard especially on All Madden. I had Revis get burned so badly in both man and zone coverage. The pass D seems to play slightly better on all-pro though.

After bashing the demo repeatedly since Tuesday's release I fired this puppy up tonight and something "CLICKED". I am digging this demo.

I put all 1st impressions aside and just decided to play the game with everything turned on and using the OFF/DEF Cood calling the plays and fellows I had a blast. What EA did is really amazing.

It's like a whole new Madden exp for me. Looking forward to getting this baby early next week.

Hell no, unlike NCAA I will not be giving impressions. Just gonna play the game and enjoy it and if I feel like shedding some info it will be on me. Lol!!!!
